Shaw compiled photographs from school board member Alan Vinson, son of a former superintendent and the collection of the late Clifford and Martha Robertson via Terri Smith, the couple's daughter and school district employee.

During homecoming week, school officials plan bus tours of the district's buildings for many of the former students as they return. The original school district building contained the elementary, middle and high schools.

"A lot of these people - their high school was where the special education building is now," said Superintendent Pat Henderson.

On Oct. 7, former first lady Laura Bush will help dedicate the new middle school named for her.

"It's going to be a busy week, but we have a lot to celebrate," Henderson said.
